Visakan Veerasamy @visakanvThe answers to the old Quora question "How do you compete with Starbucks in the coffee industry" is a great example of how most people give shitty answers without paying attention to what other people have already said and done, polluting a common space https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-compete-with-Starbucks-in-the-coffee-industry … pic.twitter.com/VeQDQz3W8TShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -

TLDR: There was a time where Quora was the 1st and last thing I'd excitedly look at whenever I turned on my computer, but over time it got noisier and junkier, the quality of questions dropped, and I started checking in less and less. These days I drop by maybe a few times a year

Seems like communities either have to be extremely gated and heavily moderated to keep a good thing going well, or they have to accept that the price of free-for-all entry means an inevitable evaporative-cooling effect (A's attract B's, B's attract C's, C's drive A's away)

Because most people don't have the stomach for strong moderation (except in specialized contexts, eg /r/askhistorians), every open-ish community has a half-life of sorts. My advice to people seeking good spaces is to find them early, then build personal/private 1-1 relationships

And you didn’t even have to go to engineering school to get your brain damage, you got it for free from Internet
